Did you know that you can login to your Facebook account using password in 3 different forms? Seems interesting isn’t it? Yep! Unlike any other online account which has only one password to access, Facebook lets you log in using 3 different variants of your password.
Only a few Facebook users are aware of this fact, but for maany others, this might seem a bit surprising. Facebook accepts the following forms of your password:
- Your Original Password – myPassword
- Password with the Case Toggled – MYpASSWORD
- Password with the First Letter Capitalized – MyPassword
Why 3 Passwords?
This is definitely not because Facebook has a bug or a serious vulnerability. In fact, this is a feature provided by Facebook itself to make the sign-in process easier for the users.
One can login using their original password and I don’t think one asks why on this. Let’s take Password with Case Toggled case. The most common reason for the login failure is when the CAPS LOCK is ON. This is where Case Toggled variation comes in handy. That means, when the CAPS LOCK is ON the case gets reversed (toggled) for your password but Facebook will accept this as well.
In case of mobile users, it is a common for the first letter of the password to get capitalized which often leads to the login failure. So, in order to tackle this issue, Facebook will also accept the password where only the first letter is capitalized.
Thus if the CAPS LOCK is accidentally enabled or if you logging in using mobile device and your first character is CAPS, you can still login to Facebook.
